Bro:

1. 8 year old Jeep=timeless ruggedness and commitment to fun.
2. 8 year old Chevy Traverse=Poverty.

I can't think of another vehicle that ages any better.

Just look at Jho and his vaunted 4.bro pinnacle of brotastic outdoorsiness.
I mean I'll have it until :tits: tires of it basically.

Her new job does involve a longer commute though :disgust:
She started a new job before popping out a CF? :impressive:

I watched it 3x already, 1x with the wife. Because I am weird... I thought it was a decent vid. And he tore off the "bumper" frame coming down from that "pot hole test" landing on the hitch from 5' in the air... not towing that truck out.

Good Vid and it made me want to the cybercuk again

Evidently job hopping is her thing 😬

Kinda worked out pretty epic though… she’s back to a K-8 school which is what she loves. Also managed to keep her corporate salary from when she worked here but is now off in summer again. Also CF will go up daycare on site at the fancy private school for a discounted rate.

It’s some elite rich folk school that’s like $45k for high and $30-40k for younger years :wtf:

Job hopping is the way to great pay and benefits IMO. There's no reward for loyalty.

That could/would happen with many vehicles. It's equal parts :disgust: :butwhy: and :lolol:

I don't care for the Cybertruk for many reasons, but this trend is just dumb.

lol nice.

re: the bumper / frame. Towing puts alot of weird forces on things. Also aluminium has a finite cycle life, so you needs lots of meat to keep stresses low to keep that cycle life reasonably high. I mean they drag raced the thing TOWING, so I'm sure there is strength there. You would also have to make a steel to aluminium connection eventually on that vehicle. It looks bad, but I am also not completely sold on the 'its not strong enough' metric either.

What it does tell me is that a minor rear end accident may render the towing abilities of your cybercuck null.

I've never watched a TikTok or YouTube short... I also don't like reals (don't go on Insta anymore anyway) but see why they're addicting. This Cybercuck vid just felt like a bunch or 'shorts' poorly edited together versus stuff from the likes of Everyday Driver, Savage Geese, Throttle House, TST, which are produced more like traditional media/TV and vastly more enjoyable to me.

Evidently this guy is making enough money to destroy $150K of vehicles in one video though, so the joke is on me.

While wearing what looks to be an AP. So $20k-ish watch too.

Even more so, they have a video showing what cars they personally own, and it's a great collection and I'd have very similar cars.

Yeah, he's great. It's good to find people who have similar tastes in cars that you do.

We'll hit that mileage probably right around the eight year mark, so if we still have it, I'll :doit:

:iono: hopefully we will still have it, it's been a great vehicle and certainly more fun to own than other five seat SUV offerings.

You can’t take the top and doors off a Traverse…

My 4.bro will be on the road in 40 years, a traverse will be melted down to use as butt plugs and/or ben wa balls!

I LOVE the early C3. It's not a great performance machine, but would make a dope cruiser. I'd love one in the same gold that the astronauts received.
They're dope looking. J Ho had one that he graciously let me drive. Definitely not a 'driver's car' by any means but fantastic cruiser, just looks awesome, sounds good, fairly comfy (although small), enough power to cruise comfortably in the modern era.

Hopefully he'll post some pics, it was a hot car. SImilar color to Cale's dad's.
Not a drivers car? Maybe you’re not a driver then….

That’s when cars required very bit of your attention. Still my favorite car I’ve ever owned. Just makes me nervous to drive in Charlotte since no one pays attention and is texting.

Small is an understatement. I’ve driven plenty of 4 speeds and holy shit was it tight.

Pics incoming
